Chapter 196
Avery almost spat the green tea from her mouth. She took a tissue to dab on her lips.
"Miss Sanford, I was the one asking for a divorce with Elliot. As for you taking Elliot from me, what I
hate is that you''re not married yet! Look at how alike you two are! He''s handsome and you''re beautiful,
you''re made for one another! When are you two getting married? I will send a grand gift!"
Zoe had an awkward smile on her face, "Now I know this is what you''re thinking. However, I''m sorry to
disappoint you, as we don''t n to get married yet." 1
"Why not? Do you not want to? Or does he not want to? If he doesn''t want to, why don''t I help you talk
to him? " Avery took another sip of green tea.
Zoe said, "You don''t have to. We will let things happen at their course. Right, Miss Tate, you called me
insensitive earlier, I don''t understand why. This is only our first meeting, so why did you insult me?"
Avery sensed how fake this woman was.
Zoe looked pitiable and wronged, one would easily sympathize with her! 1
"Didn''t your teacher teach you this in school? One has to keep one''s greed at bay." Avery thought she
had made it clear.
However, Zoe continued to look at her, waiting for her to continue. 1
Avery found it exhausting to talk to her.
Did she think nobody would see through her lies?
Instead of using the operation as an excuse to force Elliot to be with her, if she just took his money,
Avery would not dislike her.
How could she be so greedy?
Although Avery had divorced Elliot, she still did not like seeing how he was being yed by Zoe.
"Miss Tate, do you think I''m crossing a line by asking to be with Elliot?"
Seeing that Avery did not speak, she continued, "You might not know, Shea''s illness can''t be cured in

one treatment. There are follow-ups. While my work was mainly overseas. Elliot hoped that I could stay
here to treat Shea. This would affect my overseas work.
Therefore, I resigned from my overseas work toe back here and treat Shea specifically..."
"Miss Sanford, you''ve sacrificed so much." Avery mocked, "Didn''t you say you don''t earn much from
the hospital? You could easily ask Elliot topensate you two-fold. Unless you think that by asking
him to be your boyfriend, you can get half of his assets?"
Zoe''s face turned pale, "Are you jealous of me? Just because my skills are better than yours?"
Zoe could tell from Avery''s tone.
Avery was hungry but now she was full.
"Jealous...Miss Sanford, how can your skills be so good? We''re both students of Professor Hough, how
can you be so skilled while I''m so ordinary?" Avery sighed, "I heard that Elliot spent a lot of money to
ask Professor Hough to treat Shea but he dared not perform the surgery on her! Who''d have thought
that Miss Sanford could have so easily treated her! You''re more skilled than Professor Hough..."
Zoe was taken aback by her!
She felt that Avery was mocking her but she could not tell for sure.
After all, there was no way for Avery to find out that she was not the one treating Shea!
If Avery knew, she would have told Elliot a long time ago!
"Avery, stop being so passive-aggressive. I worked hard for my sess. If you''re not as skilled as me,
you should reflect on whether you worked hard back in school." Zoe said calmly, "I remember how
Professor Hough praised my hand when he saw me for the first time. He said I was born to be holding
the scalpel."
Zoe spoke as she showed Avery her hands.
Avery did not want to look at her hands.
She had hands too!
Zoe was insensitive, it was obvious that Avery had no interest in her hands but she kept showing them
to Avery.
Avery felt as if she was in a nightmare.
If not, how could this be happening?
Avery pushed Zoe''s hands away...
"Ah!" Zoe cried out!
Avery gently pushed her hands away but the teapot was knocked over. It was boiling water inside...
The water happened to ssh onto her special hands!
